I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rocket Lab in May 2024
Interview
Straightforward, reasonable, and transparent - screening questions w/ recruiter, then virtual interview w/ HITL manager from NZ, then onsite interview in Long Beach with some remote members from NZ, as well as senior-level engineers from flight software, and facility tour following. Questions spanned evaluation of problem-solving ability from past issues I've faced, as well as capability I could provide to their ground simulation functions, and how I would make sense of their current situation to thrive in their environment.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
How would you set up a configuration management scheme that isolates the configuration of the test/flight hardware from the team performing the V&V?
